- Please note by submitting a public question, this will be included during the Council Meeting public question time and recorded in the Council Meeting minutes.
- Any person or representative who submits a public question must be in the gallery at the time the question and response is due to be read. If the person is not in the gallery, the Chair will not read the question and response, however, will note that the question will be recorded in the minutes of the Council Meeting, together with a copy of the written response.
- Following the meeting, a link to the copy of the minutes will be emailed to you.
